Climate protection starts with responsibility - and with the right technology. New legal requirements such as the F-gas Regulation demand real solutions for greater sustainability from the industry. The goal: to significantly reduce the CO₂ footprint - while remaining competitive.
Pfannenberg keeps to its timeline and makes steady progress: We are gradually converting our entire thermal solutions portfolio to the future-proof and environmentally friendly refrigerant R-513A. For more efficiency, more sustainability - and a strong position on the global markets.
Cooling units:
-
All new enclosure cooling units will be equipped with safety refrigerant R513A, which is considered a low-GWP (631) and A1 safety class refrigerant (non-flammable, low toxicity).
Chillers:
-
Our appliances up to 12 kW will be equipped with a natural refrigerant or a refrigerant that is compliant with respective regulations by 1 January 2027 to continue to meet safety requirements, especially for indoor installation and machine integration.
-
For larger chillers above 12 kW, we will ensure that they are filled with a refrigerant with a GWP below 750 by 1 January 2027.
Development does not stop at refrigerants either. Pfannenberg is investigating various alternatives to be able to always offer the right solution. Both natural refrigerants and new refrigerants that are still being developed by the manufacturers are considered.
We are continuously working on the improvement of our Thermal Solutions. Pfannenberg will realise both cooling units and chillers in accordance with the requirements of the regulation and offer corresponding solutions. In addition, we are always ready to develop and adapt customised solutions with you!
